Dialogue Poetry - Poetry's Memorial Service

The funeral was a surprise to all 
writers

Bury me!!!

Poetry shouted

Bury me and leave no trace



If pen lost ground and laid 
beneath

Then this hand too belong with 
wreath

 

Words drifting in dark attractive 
walls protecting poetry's insights



Drag lyrical baskets in caskets,

Make believe world,

Imagery paint me living,

Word breathing and I see the 
light

Tell me lies,

Craft sweet lines,

Render me blind to the grave-
site in sight

 

It’s a bite from evaporated 
rights,

Flashing poetry's resurrected 
rights

Speaking wind flights as poetry 
wishes to go deeper is session 
nights

 

In-depth inspection 6-feet 
beyond resurrection prospectus,

No light for revival,

Chew,

Spit,

Disintegrate,

No chance for survival - she's 
dead - it’s final

 

Technically my brain is too 
bright for

Binoculars searching creativity's 
seeds in

Hives

Bending lives

Teary eyes

Blinking smiles

The funeral was a surprise to all 
writers
